Tons of people have e-mailed about the Little Blue Book of Obama sayings that a firm called the History Company is hawking on its website. Yes, they really are selling them in 10-packs for $49.50 and yes, the resemblance to Maos Little Red Book is striking. Weirdly, Pocket Obama has a plain blank cover and smacks of a gag especially the last line [it was not a gag -etl]:
"Printed in a size that easily fits into pocket or purse, this book is an anthology of quotations borrowed from Barack Obamas speeches and writings. POCKET OBAMA serves as a reminder of the amazing power of oratory and the remarkable ability of this man to move people with his words. His superb and captivating oratory style has earned comparisons to John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King, and this historic collection presents words that catapulted his remarkable rise to the American Presidency. It is an unofficial requirement for every citizen to own, to read, and to carry this book at all times-The History Company [the book is no longer listed on the History Company's web site -etl].

"From May 1966, student members of the Communist Party were encouraged to carry copies of Mao's Little Red Book of quotations. Acting under Mao's leadership, these "Red Guards" used his quotations in their mission to weed out intellectuals. With themes such as Correcting Mistaken Ideas and All Reactionaries are Paper Tigers, the quotations became the standard by which all revolutionary efforts were judged."

Haha. Good question.
Text of Obamas Sept. 8th speech to your kids:
I’ve been working very hard to provide everybody with free healthcare and clean up the air we breath and fight global warming. But there are some in this country who don’t support me because they are selfish or racist. So, when you get home tonight ask your Mom and Dad if they support me, or if they are selfish or racist.
My mind reading skills are impeccable! So save this post!

This administration is about to provoke some serious civil disobedience, which is likely what they want.
This is absolutely crazy.
Oh right; did they mention a birth certificate?

Be careful, EternalVigilance, you’ll be attacked by some FReepers for promoting homeschooling.
We’ve exercised our sovereign, God given right to educate our children the way we see fit, and I’ve been attacked for promoting such a right (by a public school educator).
YES! God Bless him. He spoke for all of us!
Thank you for the reminder, EternalVigilance.
